This is adjacent-network reachability, not IP network or physical-device access.\nAC:L - The bug is a use-after-free race between received SCO data and socket close/teardown, and an attacker can repeatedly drive SCO traffic while provoking endpoint teardown to hit the window. No rare configuration or uncontrollable memory layout condition is required beyond Bluetooth SCO support.\nPR:N - The Bluetooth peer sending SCO data needs no account or privileges on the target system, and the per-packet receive path has no capability or authentication check. Incoming acceptance depends on Bluetooth connection/listening state, not target-user privileges held by the attacker.\nUI:N - Exploitation does not require a victim user to open a file, mount anything, or perform an explicit action. Once the Bluetooth/SCO endpoint is active, packets and teardown can be driven by protocol activity.\nS:U - The vulnerability is in the kernel Bluetooth stack and impacts the same kernel security authority. It is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or other cross-scope boundary violation.\nC:H - This is a kernel use-after-free of a socket object, and subsequent code dereferences the freed sock and can pass it into receive-queue handling. Such heap UAFs can be leveraged for kernel memory disclosure, so confidentiality impact is high.\nI:H - The freed sock pointer can be used in `sock_queue_rcv_skb()`, which updates socket queues/state and can invoke socket callbacks after reuse. This is kernel memory corruption with plausible control-flow or arbitrary-write exploitation, so integrity impact is high.\nA:H - Even without full exploitation, dereferencing and operating on a freed kernel socket can cause an oops, panic, or memory corruption crash. Availability impact is therefore high." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "net/bluetooth/sco.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "37e18bc8c9a70d77bd099e2273f328b3bc7f6d0d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "d57384e27d1ebf0047e3f00a6e1181b8be9857a2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "b0a7da0e3f7442545f071499beb36374714bb9de", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "45aaca995e4a7a05b272a58e7ab2fff4f611b8f1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "108b81514d8f2535eb16651495cefb2250528db3", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "7197462e90b8ce15caa1ae15d4bc2bb8cd21b11e", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "e76e8f0581ef555eacc11dbb095e602fb30a5361", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "598dbba9919c5e36c54fe1709b557d64120cb94b", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "net/bluetooth/sco.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "2.6.12", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "2.6.12", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.10.265", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.15.203", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.1.168", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.131", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.80", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.21", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.19.11", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.19.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.0", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "5.10.265" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.203" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.168" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.131" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.80" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.21" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.19.11" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "7.0" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/37e18bc8c9a70d77bd099e2273f328b3bc7f6d0d" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d57384e27d1ebf0047e3f00a6e1181b8be9857a2" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b0a7da0e3f7442545f071499beb36374714bb9de" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/45aaca995e4a7a05b272a58e7ab2fff4f611b8f1" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/108b81514d8f2535eb16651495cefb2250528db3" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7197462e90b8ce15caa1ae15d4bc2bb8cd21b11e" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e76e8f0581ef555eacc11dbb095e602fb30a5361" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/598dbba9919c5e36c54fe1709b557d64120cb94b" } ], "title": "Bluetooth: SCO: Fix use-after-free in sco_recv_frame() due to missing sock_hold", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
